A good location, nice decor and lounge, decent bed but let down by basics. No rail or hangers in wardrobe, a first for me. No tea/coffee in room, not convenient to get from downstairs. Breakfast basic albeit cheap, but slow and poor quality. omelette so hot it must be microwaved and overdone. My “small double” was described as “the snug” more like “the cell” and the en-suite was so small anyone larger than me might have got stuck in it. Expected far better from reviews and cost.

Hotel's Favourite
From the moment you enter this stylish, elegant Hotel, set in the heart of Georgian Dublin, you can relax and know that you are going to have an amazing experience. The staff are superb, the rooms comfortable and beautiful, the breakfast is delicious, varied and plentiful. There is even a tea and coffee / water station in the reception area - with pastries! You can also order tea and coffee to be brought to your room. The location is ideal - Pembroke Townhouse is simply a joy!

The Hotel is located in a very nice area in proximity of restaurants. It took us around 15 min. to walk to the hop on hop off bus stop. It’s very cozy and stylish. The Hotel has a free parking in the backyard, which is very convenient. The rooms have high ceilings so there was a mezzanine with a bed. Our daughter adored her own space! Receptionist was very kind and helpful; as we were there at Easter, he organized eggs hunting making our kid super happy. Taking into account price/quality, we would be happy to come back to this place. Disliked · The room was clean, but carpets were a bit tired, and walls should be refreshed. There was not much space to unpack, but for a one-night it was fine. We had a problem with the light at the mezzanine. Receptionist was doing his best but he could not solve the issue. Breakfast was served a la carte. Unfortunately not very kid-friendly as usually they do not eat sophisticated food. We tried to order a hard boiled egg instead of an omelet, but we were told that’s not possible! Later, another waitress told us that’s possible, so at least our kid could eat something. No big choice of gluten free products (only this omelet).…

We are so glad we chose the Pembroke Townhouse for our last night in Ireland. The property was beautiful, in a very nice and convenient neighborhood; breakfast was outstanding, and secure parking was located right behind townhouse. Our room was extremely clean and updated. Bed was very comfortable. The lobby had complimentary coffee, water, ice, and croissants available at all times. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Perhaps the best part of our stay is that right from our room, we could hear Bruce Springsteen rehearse before his concerts right down the road! Obviously that perk won't come with every stay, but it sure made ours magical :-) Great restaurants within easy walking distance and a very easy drive to the airport (via the tunnel) in the morning made our stay absolutely perfect.…

Disappointed. Nothing like the website in my experience. No blind on window and only a thin old curtain so the light was streaming in from sunrise. Plus bed was hard and short - feet out over the end!

Dear David, I was very reluctant whether to reply your review or not as what you stated doesn't reflect in the least the room you stayed in and it's a clear and unfair attempt to damage our business. Our Superior Double rooms' beds are 200 centimeters long (King size); in the room you stayed in there are very heavy drapes installed and not thin old curtains. We understand each guest has their own requirements, and we would have been more than happy to move you to another room if you only had talked to us on the first morning. When you reported the issue at the front desk on the second morning upon check-out, it was too late for us to take any action. Kind regards, Mirko

Lovely stay, very clean room, very comfortable, staff were helpful. On the downside I think the price was very over inflated simply because there was events on in the area over the weekend. Breakfast was very limited

Dear Carisa, Thank you for the review and i am happy to read you had an overall positive experience with us. Dublin's prices keep increasing, that is true, but we do try to inflate them as little as possible as we want to offer the best value for money. Sometimes we offer a higher rate when there is a concert/match in the area, as we are really close to a number of venues (ie. Aviva Stadium, 3Arena, Bord Gais theatre, to name a few). If you decide to stay with us again in the future, please drop us a line and we will allocate you one of our most spacious rooms. All the best. Kind regards, Mirko

The good points: Great Location. Lovely old Georgian building with parking. Nice lounge area with Free coffee and croissants. The bad points: Rooms small with threadbare, grubby carpets. Most TV stations not working. No extractor in the bathroom so ends up like a steam room. Woeful breakfasts - very limited choice, couldn’t even get a boiled egg let alone a full Irish. Not even any fruit. Very slow service. Certainly not value for money and much better places to stay for the price paid.

Dear IMBX, Thank you for taking the time in sharing your experience with us. Guests' feedback it's of vital importance, as it helps us to better understand what needs immediate action. Our carpets will be replaced with new ones, while in some rooms these have been removed and a wooden floor has been fitted. We were able to identify an issue with our TVs, and our receiver has since been fixed. In regards to our breakfast, i am very sorry to hear you were disappointed by our offerings. Our menu, available on our website, doesn't include Full Irish Breakfast - we offer a healthier gourmet breakfast to our Guests. On a separate note, i am happy to hear you found our Georgian building with its car park lovely and that you could enjoy the facilities in our lounge. All the best! Kind regards, Mirko Betti General Manager

My wife and I stayed here for three nights, we had a beautiful time, the hotel is lovely so comfortable. The staff are excellent and very friendly, the coffee machine and the pastries were superb! The location is perfect, the local area is really nice and an easy walk into the centre. I would strongly recommend the Guinness Factory tour, allow a couple of hours at least. Pubs I would recommend are Seartons, Kehoes, O'Shauhnessys, The Hairy Lemon and look out for the smallest pub in Dublin on Dawson Street.
